This is literally a perfect britpop song

COIL ended up being a huge influence on me during the Rebecca Peake years. They are why I did Japanese title cards for those old videos (pre-vaporwave!)

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

Atelier is great because it attracts a great rainbow of nerds- spreadsheet types, anime lovers, regular RPG fans, yuri-heads, degen weebs, etc. I'm lucky it ended up having substance because I wanted to like it when I first started exploring and it does have the legs. Always more to discover in life

Atelier fandom and bsky have gone hand in hand for me. I rejected my vaporwave scene lord status on twitter to retire to a quiet life of talking about cute RPGs here. Since then my QOL has only vastly improved. Bootleg vinyl, mausgate (which was a scam), vapour weirdos - all in my rearview mirror bb

Small fandoms are where it's at because the people in them are mostly just excited to find other people who get their esoteric references instead of being all weird and gatekeepy. Atelier fandom didn't reject me as a tourist/interloper and instantly had a "oh wait until you play this one!" energy 🙏

The chorus for this Seori song (from the top tier kdrama Doona!) is so sick. What is stopping American pop from having chord progressions like these??

Spike the bulldog rounds a corner wearing a pink helmet that says NO. Unbeknownst to him, Heathcliff is on the other side of the corner, wearing a pink helmet that says YES. Two birds watch the impending confrontation from a nearby tree, and one of them says "Hold on to your butt."

I think if i worked as a clerk in an attorney's office, a good bit would be to tell people that I was an "officer of the law" lol. red state boomers would eat that shit up. and then i could add a cheeky lil "huh...guess ACAB applies to me too!" for fellow leftists. 'The Great Unifier' they'd call me
